• 1tbsp oil

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan or wok, and add the onion, garlic and Quorn pieces (or whatever protein you’ve chosen to use). Cook over a medium heat, stirring regularly, for around 5 minutes, until the onions are soft.
2. Add the spices, and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
